Unexpected error (-50) while syncing ipod classic 160G

I just upgraded my PC last weekend and copied all my music from my old PC to the new one.
After I installed the latest itunes on my new PC, I used it to restore my ipod and syncing music.
There are more than 3000 songs at all. But the ipod always stucked after a while and then report an unexpected error(-50).
I tried restore the ipod and sync again. It then stucked in a different song.
I also tried using the USB port both in the front and in the back. Also failed.
It got me crazy!
My ipod model is ipod classic 160G.
I brought it on May, 2010.
Operation system: Windows 7 Ultimate (x64)
Dose anyone have the same problem?
I need a solution, please.

Error -50 can be caused by USB connection bad -
normally if connected to the low power USB 1.0 port at the front of the PC.
Bad USB cable -try and get another good cable.
Other USB devices overloading the host controller, causing a timeout - Discoonect all otrher USB devices.
Antivirus or other plugins conflict with iTunes - Stop the Antivirus and plugins,
Disconnect from Internet, as malware and other broswer plugins interferes with the Sync.
Dying Hardisk - Do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but it help in troubleshooting.

  • ITunes always freezes while syncing iPod Classic

    I bought an ipod classic off of ebay last week, and syncing it with itunes on my old windows xp laptop has been such a pain. Every time I go to sync, I'll get 1500-2000 songs in, before the syncing screen on my ipod switches to "connected: eject before disconnecting" and itunes freezes. I've tried everything: syncing all at once, one album at a time, in playlists, but nothing works. At first I thought the hard drive must be fried but a scan in windows tells me it's fine and the amount of reallocs it has (303) has remained steady. Please, can anyone help me? I'm desperate.
    Thank you.

  • Error message when syncing ipod classic 80 GB

    After I connect my ipod to itunes and I try to sync it, an error message pops up saying "The ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-48)." What does that mean? Is there any way to fix this without having to restore the ipod?

    I have a 160 GB ipod and I have the same problem. When I connect it says it doesn't recognize my ipod and suggests I restore it. I just did it with success, but I keep having these warnings as soon as I try to sync again.
    some help please?

  • ITunes freezing when trying to sync iPod Classic 160

    System stuff
    MacBook Pro OSX 10.5.8
    iTunes 10.6.1 (7)
    iPod Classic 160g
    This iPod is only music, no photos, podcasts, movies, anything else.
    I have had no issues syncing my iPod on my MacBook Pro, until the last two times, both times coinciding with iTunes updates.
    The first time i had an issue, I got error messages telling me the disk couldnt be written to, and told me to restore the disk. I did this, and after 3 times it restored and synced successfully.
    Yesterday I began to sync and it worked, but was going extremely slow. In aabout 3 hours it had added about 600 songs out of 2200. (Now I know its a big sync, but I often add a lot of music at once. It's my job.) After it got that far, iTunes froze. I force closed iTunes and that ejected the iPod. I lt it rest a few minutes, restarted my computer, and plugged in the iPod again. iTunes opened, it started syncing and then froze while determining tunes to sync. So I force quit, unplugged the iPod, opened iTunes and set to not automatically sync. Plugged the iPod back in, and restored the disk. Ive done this a dozen times, at least.
    If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it.
    Thank you in advance!!

    I am also having a very simalar problem but i am glad to hear it is also happening to someone else.
    I still haven't been able to decide what the actuall reson for this problem is, for a while i thought it may have been an "intel problem" as one of my frends kindly put it, but i am now lead to belive that it is a problem with the auto sync.
    For a temporary solution i have been updating my ipod manually but even then it does frezze occasionaly.So i would be very intersted if anyone has any solutions or resons why it happens.

  • My Ipod Classic (160G) no longer synchs completely with iTunes (93G).  Have reset and restored to no avail.  AM about to try roll back to a previous version of iTunes, which has been on auto update.

    My iPod Classic (160G) used to sync flawlessly with iTunes (93G).
    Recently, there seem to be fewer folders syncing.  In particular, it is not syncing more recent adds.  It also occassionally refuses to sync at least one mp3 downloaded from  Amazon.com, giving an unable to sync message with an error code or 50.
    I'm running iTunes version 10.7, and the software (2.04) on myiPod is current.
    I only use the iPod for music.  I have only one playlist.
    Reset and restore did not fix the problem; I'm considering rolling back to a previous version of iTunes.  Are there any other  ideas to consider? 
    Please advise.
    Thanks,

    iTunes and its sync process with your iPod have been know to choke once the amount of data that needs to be transferred, replaced, or updated, reaches a certain size limit in GBs.

  • ITunes displays -48 error message when syncing iPod Nano on Windows XP

    My girlfriend's mom's iPod Nano ran out of charge while jogging so she decided to charge it on her daughter's iHome. The next day she went to use her iPod but it was totally empty of all music and files. When she tried to sync it to iTunes, she received an eror message stating, "An unknown error has occurred (-48)" from iTunes and a Windows message stating that some iPod folder/file was corrupted.
    If anyone receives such a message, I was able to correct it by:
    -Plugging in your iPod to your PC
    -Ignore the error messages
    -Go to My Computer
    -Find your iPod's drive letter (ie. G:)
    -Right-click on it and select Properties
    -Go to Tools Tab >Error-checking and select Check Now
    You should be able to sync your iPod as before. I do not claim to be an expert so be warned that it may not work for you. Good luck!

    Hey ermides,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource provides information if you are receiving a -50 error message when syncing:

  • Syncing iPod Classic with iTunes on MacBook Air and QNAP NAS

    Not sure what section this would sit under, but as it is primarily about getting my iTunes to work, I’ll post it here, for now:
    For various reasons, I’m going to be switching most of my home computer usage from my PC to my Macbook Air (2010).
    I have used Supersync to move my iTunes library to a QNAP T210 NAS (where my library file resides) and set up iTunes on the MBA to point to it.  I am using AFP to connect to the NAS.
    The router is an Airport Extreme base station with the NAS directly connected via Ethernet and the MBA connected via wifi.
    In my new setup, when I click on a song to play, there is a very – barely perceptible – slight lag compared to the old PC setup which used a directly connected USB hard drive. So no real performance issues on the MBA.
    The issue arises, however, when I try to sync my iPod Classic 160G (reformatted for Mac, as I thought it would possibly be moreefficient?).  I’m just going through the first sync of  ~31k songs (no video orother content.)  I left it running between midnight and 0800, and it only managed about 3,000 tunes.  My old PC setup usually synced about three times as much in the same period.
    Is there anything I can do to improve the performance of my setup?
    Would running my NAS connection over NFS be quicker? 
    How about a powered USB hub to the MBA?
    How about connecting the MBA to the Airport extreme via Ethernet (from a USB hub) instead of using the wifi?
    Any suggestions (besides running iTunes on a local drive) greatly welcomed.
    Thanks,
    James

    I tried this, i selected "manage my music and videos manually" and clicked "apply". when i try and put songs onto my ipod off another computer, i get the warning message telling me if i sync it with this library, it will delete everything off my ipod and replace it with what is in the library on that computer.

  • An unexpected error occurred while the job was running. (ID: 104)

    I'm getting this error in the event logs when trying to run a consistency check / sync with one of our file servers.
    This server was working fine, but w needed to migrate the data to a new partition (GPT) to allow it to expand past the 2TB limit of MBR partitions.  I added a new 3TB disk migrated the data and changed the drive letter to what the old partition was
    prior.  Since then we seem to get this error.
    I have installed the update roll up on both the server and the agent side.  I have also removed the server from the protection group then re-added it.  I've also removed and reinstalled the agent on the file server.
    Any help is appreciated!  Here's the full error from the DPM server:
    The replica of E:\ on server is inconsistent with the protected data source. All protection activities for data source will fail until the replica is synchronized with consistency check. (ID: 3106)
    An unexpected error occurred while the job was running. (ID: 104)

    Server Version is Windows 2012 R2 STD.  DPM is 4.2.1235.0 (DPM 2012 R2).  I expanded the production file server.  All that server does is host up file shares.
    I suspected the fact that I created a new volume and changed drive letter back to the original to be the source cause of the issue.  What I ended up doing is blowing away the backups from this server on disk and re-adding it to the protection group. 
    It now runs much longer, but still times out at random with the error mentioned above.
    Vijay:  The error was copied from Event Viewer.  Not sure what else you require?  Event ID is 3106 from DPM-EM.
    The DPM logs say:
    Affected area: E:\
    Occurred since: 2015-01-05 2:04:38 AM

  • HT2305 HOW DO I FIX ERROR 43  FOR MY iPOD CLASSIC ?

    HOW DO I FIX ERROR 43  FOR MY iPOD CLASSIC ?

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • IPod Classic 160g -- movie playback sometimes jerk and jump

    I rip a lot of old movies using HandBrake and load them on my brand new iPod Classic 160G. I've noticed that the picture of this movie or that will jerk and jump. In other words, frames will jump ahead in a jerky manner out of sync with the sound. It's more of an irritation than a monstrous problem, but I had never experienced this phenomenon with my original iPod Classic 60 gig. Has anyone else noticed this curious problem?

    It seems to be the hard drive. go and run the diagnostics https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3784647?tstart=0.

  • An unexpected error occurred while the job was running. (ID 104 Details: The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057))

    We are using DPM Version: 4.1.3465.0 with System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 to back up VMs in our Hyper V Cluster. We have a total of 37 VMs with a combination of 2008r2 servers and 2012 servers. One of our 2012 servers will not backup, and we consistently
    get the message "An unexpected error occurred while the job was running. (ID 104 Details: The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057))". I have seen this error message when I Googled it, but cannot get past it. I have deleted the Protection Group and
    data and tried to re-create, but get the same errors. I also thought the the server might be mis-reporting the data size, but I expanded that to cover the replication data. I have also tried to perform consistancy checks multiple times with no luck. I have
    not seen a difinitive answer from my Google searches, so was hopeful someone has seen this also, and have had success in resolving. Currently this server has no backup recovery points, so I am worried if it does crash. I think I have the rollups installed
    as well.

    does the issue still persists?
